Cool stuff, looking forward to the next part.....

I remember this from somewhere, but I don't remember where. Maybe I wasn't really here at all.

I've done this experiment before... crazy stuff... I wonder if part 2 is going to be about "spooky action at a distance"... I've seen that done as well and it freaked me out...haha

pretty sure it was from "what the bleep do we know" =P

OMGWTFBBQ!

Through me, you have found the stars you have been seeking.

-1 for typography.

Mr Wizard would be proud, junior.

Your "could electrons be interfering with eachother, no, they are just matter, like marbles" was inane. They are charged particles. Like charges repel.

+1

I know how its going to end!

aaaah high school and college physics... miss those days...

To Timejack, they did reference this in What the bleep do we know, but that movie had alot of bs. Like the indians not seeing columbus' ship thing-total BS.

"They are charged particles. Like charges repel." When they are shot one at a time, what is there to repel?

Multiverse theory: read it.

Even Einstein knows Electrons are BOTH matter AND wave

Needs more NEDM

+2

wow electrons are matter and wave energy? welcome to the twentieth century... String theory is the new fad of physics. (Stings vibrating in 11 dimentional hyperspace) Now that's some cool sh*t.

Or EEKE

Nice presentation, buy why did you fav your own site?

kill yourself

-3

This confusion over particle versus wave properties was eventually resolved with the advent and establishment of quantum mechanics in the first half of the 20th century, which ultimately explained wave-particle duality. It provided a single unified theoretical framework for understanding that all matter can behave in both a wave-like and a particle-like fashion in the appropriate circumstances. Quantum mechanics holds that every particle in nature, be it a photon, electron or atom, is described by a solution to a differential equation, most typically, the Schroedinger equation.

To see if mah favs worked?

max plank in the house

Wow, it's like grade 10 physics all over again, except you suck as a teacher.

-2

Said by a grade A moron...

My theory is an abstract version of all theories I've heard, but its pretty standard. Everything occupying the universe exists as a wave in time. This is true because time is a function of the travel of a wave (light) and is relative to the speed of said wave. Taking in account of this slit experiment with electrons (I only heard of the one with light), it further confirms my suspicion that all matter exist as waves interfering with eachother and producing the phenomonae we see as the 4 forces in the universe. Thank you very much, you gave me one more elementary step towards the unified field theory.

-1 for claiming that lasers are particles. Lasers are photons, which are waves and particles at the same time. I wouldn't call them primarily particles.

this is so cool!

Okay, that's actually pretty cool.

Ok, absolutely a 5 for science.

You didn't have to represent one of the most amazing and elegant experiments as a slide show.

Das strayt up CRAZY, dawg!

You win for having 100+ the IQ of me. Also very interesting, I look forward to Pt.2

>: D Q Physics ftw

Pt2 will show the rest of the experiment, i'm still confused with the results when they tried to measure it. :(

lol, physics

Bill Nye would be proud

who says learning cant be fun

NO WAY, GOD DIDNT SAY A DAMN THING ABOUT THAT IN THE BIBLE, SO NO WAY!

this could be an argument that the universe does not work in chaos but order, like pi

5 for the awesome, and because i know its true...but the "there can be only one explanation" reeks of the Christianity YTMNDs. Wouldnt have suprised me to see "JESUS! lol" after that.

Coherent presentation, but lacks understanding of the basic principles behind the phenomenon. Electrons of course interfere with each other; they are negative particles and as such, repel causing the striations. Lasers can be streams of particles, but, typical red lasers are streams of quantitized light (photons or quanta), the basic principle behind quantum mechanics (Photons are ‘packets’ of light).

-1

You may be confused with cathode ray streams (which are actually electrons). I think this is simply a rehash of a presentation you have viewed online as it shows lack of knowledge of basic physics. I think however that you are educating the uninformed in the wonders of scientific advances is to be applauded.

light spreads as it goes from point a and on, possibly why the electrons have no other choice but to travel more than one path simotaneously.... i mean.. Whatsa matta you?

you should be thankful that there's an outlet for this discussion, starface

Image origin is "googled"?

What The Bleep Do We Know, yeah... Don't credit that movie in the second one or I won't five that and I'll take this away too, heh heh... Double Slit Experiment = Teh Win. Paid cult with agenda = teh suck.

I'll have to try this. It sounds neat.

The downvoters provide the comedy for this site. 5'd for great knowledge.

Old.

i love you. also, all matter is actually waves, and mass is an illusion.

Slideshow ytmnd ftw!

old *ss experiment DO SCHRODINGERS CAT

5 because I failed Physics

haha where was the NEDM on pic 4?

it's a good day for science!

I assumed it would invovle vaginas, but it didn't and was still awesome.

Oh and maybe for consideration in this test... do you truely believe that a 'vacuum' contains no matter? I believe that a vacuum is full of stuff we have yet to discover, and therefore any expiriments we do that require a true 'vacuum' are beyond us at this point.

neat

The missile knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn't.

Learned this crap in 9th grade. Still, 4'd for making me jam.

Texas A&M sucks!

Congrats, all you did was watch "What The Bleep Do We Know" and instead of showing it in an easy to understand animation, you just use googled images. Fail.

here's the video if you actually wanna learn something http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-4237751840526284618&q=what+the+bleep

very cool

These 'theories' are the result of flawed mathematics. Of course no object can be in more than one place at one time. Ridiculous.

Holy, sh*t, I love quantum physics! Have you seen "What the Bleep Do We Know?" I have!

-1

Why?

Applause

thankyou Texaggie79 for this awesome YTMND! :)

Amazing. Just...amazing. I think there are also some weird particles that aperently travel backward throgh time...if this is trre, you should do one on that, too.

i can just imagine some yuppie pieces of sh*t making this

you missed the big point about wave packets. Also.... "googled"...

Uh, to whoever said that a particle can not behave as a wave simultaneously, it's called the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, and we've known about it since the mid 1920's. It's the reason for the electron cloud model we have today instead of the little orbit drawing that you've been using since third grade. And no, I haven't seen What The Fck Do We Know. 5 for making a YTMND on the best days of quantum physics :D

i was expecting either nedm, or a secret nazi electrons joke at the end.

I miss bill neye's old show.

you blew my mind! 5

damn cool

Kind of got bored...

That music got me pumped about quantum physics.

When you said double-slit experiment, I was thinkng of something much cooler.

+2

^haha

My guess the moment the question was asked was that the electron is negatively charged, so it was being repelled by the electrons surrounding the very edges of the slits. I guess that's too simple for science.

Clicked close as soon as I saw "double split." It's called wave-particle duality.

Think of where you are. Most here are...not knowledgeable of these things, to say the least

This take me back to high school physics with the most awesome santa look-a-like teacher.

Great Jarb!!!!

It's spelled 'Jorb'

good job :) *downloads the song*

You can't do a double slit experiment with a flashlight as a light source. Its not monochromatic.

My girlfriend, who is obsessed with quantum physics, taught me this some time ago. She says it's when science becomes magic. I tend to agree.

i couldn't care less

Michael Criton's "Timeline" explained this too to justify parallel universes.

the aggies suck, hook 'em horns, good ytmnd though, 5'd

Wow, someone took smoothmedia's advice and it wasn't whetstone...

good stuff. Starts out at the highschool lvl though. But i can see how most people on here will be blown away by probability theorys... oh ya. Lasers arent "particles"... they are particles and waves. still just light.. YOU KNOW THAT! change for a 5

After 2 minutes and no NEDM, i triangled and one'd. -2 for long film, -2 for redneck aggie.

Nice, I like these YTMND's.

head aslpodes!

Science!

WOMG WAVE PARTICLE DUALITY!

Thank you. I am smarter, now.

Knew it. We did it on our last year of physics in High School

when I saw the title I knew that I've seen this allready

Maybe its reppelling the Electrons that have already hit the film, so it moves when it gets close, or maybe the Charge of the electron leaves a residue charge so other electrons get reppeled form traveling in the same line. Dunno, but interesting, HURRY WITH P2 k thanx

5'd!!1!

need more nedm imo

you succeed, please make another awsome ytmnd! ^_^

quantam physics makes me wet. hurry and make pt. 2!

My brain asplode

Very cool. Nice job on the music sync too.

Sweet.

I've always had a hard time making a slit thin enough to get this to work. Can you really do it with tinfoil? Goddamn this song owns.

Education FTW.

fake!

-2 for "fav"ing your own ytmnd... ah forget it, still 5d - nice one.

We actually did a double slit experiment in my modern physics class, and I swear, my teacher didn't do half as good a job explaining the electrons as you did. This proves that our public schools should all switch to a more ytmnd-oriented format.

The only thing better than this are all the nuts with their own pet theory.

5'd because quantum phys IS cool!

needs more c*cks or nedm

I've seen this before, and I'm almost positive they only did it with particles of light and concluded that light travels in both waves and matter. Nice job explaining the more fascinating aspets of science though.

Not bad. I have to say it drags a little on the one-at-a-time electron double-slit part. Make more! Be a teacher! Be like Morpheus!

I love these slideshow YTMNDs.

music is raping my precious ear slits

yay science!

I'd have to try that

you can also do this experiment with urine and two prostitutes since piss is both a particle and a waveform.

YTMEDUCATION.

People will use to support the notion that God truly can be everywhere at once.

arrrgh, my brain.

Yay for SCIENCE!

i was hoping for happy cat at some point, but i was too busy dancing to notice quantum physics.

catchy tune

Seen this before...it's pretty interesting.

Thirty Stars! 10 for science, 10 for cool music, 10 for possibly being the coolest site out!

I'm downvoting this becuase you totally copied this presentation, right down to calling electrons, "marbles" from the documentary called "What the Bleep Do We Know?" Use the link to see the 3D presentation that Texaggie copied it from.

This experiment was glossed over in one of my textbooks and I never really understood it. Thanks for clearing it up.

crap forgot the link. Here it is http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-4237751840526284618&q=what+the+bleep+do+we+know&hl=en

Cite your image sources, kay? Otherwise not a bad effort...

yes waves are particles, particles are waves, thanks for taking me back to last semester physics....

I'M LEARNING, MY BRAIN IT HURTS WOOOOO ELECTRON WAVES

already knew so it got boring fast

meh..

these science ytmnds :)

I am like an electron cause I exist everywhere......probably

Too many big words, agh. You win

Nice YTMND. I'm enjoying all these EducateTMND's that are popping up.

I learned this stuff in high school man. Reshowing it to me was pointless. When did this place become about education?? everyonesucks.ytmnd.com

GOD DAMN YOU CRAZY MAN

no

The Empire Accepts

coolio

my brain asplode

quantum physics is cool until you have to take a course in it and find out it is still just calculus...

this is f*cking boring and a waste of time to load forever.

^ Not quite calculus, more complex analyis.

I liked.

who needs school anyway...

Anyone who knows that the Bohr model was proved wrong (you know, the one that they still use...) should know that electrons are not particles like marbles, but rather travel in waves. I liked how you explained how it was discovered, cool stuff indeed. People need to stop referring to the string theory as "new" =/

Very nice.

Definately need to mention the electron cloud, since it is the offical description used and that a real atom reflects an azimuth rather than a circle.

Quantum physics is crazy. And awesome.

+1

anyone who downvoted this should be kicked in the teeth

OH SHI-

hurry up with the Pt 2!!

That was fun. Laser is spelled with an 's.'

enjoyable

5 for sciences + very long ytmnd! could used a Bill Nye or NEDM somewhere though.

You forgot the part where if they observed each electron it beheaved like regular matter. Which is even more amazing.

Years old and no longer interesting. Anyone giving this a 5 doesn't know sh*t about quantum physiscs or theory.

I learned this back in like 6th grade...lol

I think of marbles shooting at a slit all the time.

4 for the particle-wave duality of electrons and photons!

WHOOP!!! Thanks and Gig'em

If you liked this then you should check out the move "What the !@#$ Do we Know" although I'm still a little skeptical about quite a few things in that movie.

Wish I had YTMND in high school!!

I love quantum physics too and I appreciate your effort, but I'm not sure it is presented in a way that would make sense to a noob.

Nice.

interesting.

Old news >_> still awesome.

It's complicated. Look it up.

That isn't quantum physics, it is merely an experiment that shows the wave-like nature of light. dipsh*t.

my head asplodeeeeee boom

...wow

needs mroe brain rape

Omg, awsome.

AWESOME! ^luv this sh*t

would you like some pancakes with your rofl?

I'm a physicist. You made some mistakes. If you shine light on a single slit, you DO see a diffraction pattern, not a vertical line. Also, white light doesn't work (as you vaguely implied) because the component spectrum will diffract different amounts. The electrons do not "interfere with each other"-- you corrected yourself, but that phrase shouldn't even show up in your explanation. Finally, saying that the electrons "go through both slits at once" is a bit misleading. I love spreading physics to the masses (no pun intended), but I don't think YTMND is the medium for it.

+1

dick go pray to god or something, jesus wants you to suck his c*ck

ok, after extensive research on wikipedia (the only source of good science and truth) maybe you're right. but jesus still wants you to suck his c*ck. god hates f*gs, so that's why he strung up his kid on a cross. the gay f*ck

lol, yea i was expecting NEDM too. i grasped the concept and all, but i know there's stuff in quantum physics that are a LOT cooler than that, let's see how pt.2 goes i guess

Like the music and it's informative. Lacks Bill Nye's voice explaining it though. :P

It's YTMND not MSPPT

+1

lol, physics to the masses

im sorry i just couldn't get through it

awsome

You sir won my brain, but most importantly my heart ;)

Quantum mechanics ftw. Although, I have to admit, I was expecting NEDM for picture 4 as well. Stupid YTMND.

thank god I have someone as smart as you to poorly explain and make huge assumptions about a realativly basic aspect of physics.

tell me something i don't know

electrons are not just like marbles. and who says marbles wouldn't interfere with each other if the experiment was done with marbles to scale? also too long

how could something like that be too long? It's quantum Physics fool... not comedy. Just stop when ya don't feel like LEARNING anymore

meh. I happen to like slideshows.

you lost me 10 seconds into it, nevertheless it was cool to watch

Thankz for teh compliments, and to the haterz, this is YTMND, not a thesis, so horrrssshhhh up. Expect pt 2 in a couple days. It's coolio EDM would make it l33t.
